The Mark's rack is definitely more versatile and adjustable. If you want to buy a rack now for I-don't-know-what-application later, the Mark's will work more different ways.
The Mini is definitely stronger. It's all tubular cro-mo, where the Mark's has Alum struts. Every loaded joint is welded, where the Mark's is full of bolt-tightened pivots. For light loads both are fine. Whatever load sags the Mark's I'd bet you big dollars that the Mini will handle. Both will take a Platrack which is a FABULOUS feature (maybe the best feature) for both. In my opinion, always buy the Mini when you can. Be happy with the Mark's when you can't use the Mini. My canti-Hillborne and Bombadil both run the Mini up front. The Bleriot/Renovelo will run a Mark's. On Sep 21, 9:35 am, storm <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, Is there any downside to Marks Rack?
